Question
Recently, I’ve noticed that whenever I pick up the baby, she is always able to lift her head. For a baby who is just one month old, is this type of head-lifting behavior normal?
Answer
A one-month-old baby being able to lift their head usually indicates good health, no calcium deficiency, and no relation to cerebral palsy. Babies with cerebral palsy cannot lift their heads due to severe brain hypoxia during the birthing process. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. As long as the baby maintains a good mental state, normal eating and sleeping habits, there is nothing to worry about. If there are still doubts, you can visit a local pediatric hospital for a check-up to get a clearer diagnosis.
